The Canyudo app, which will first launch in Hong Kong before its global rollout, serves as
a virtual town square where users can advertise jobs, tasks,
events, or items for sale, with an added benefit of instant
transactions with cryptocurrency, in addition to fiat. To encourage
charitable endeavours, one-third of all transactions are allocated
to registered charities. Users may donate their time, skills, or
money to these charities or sell them on the open market.
To fulfil its mission, Canyudo draws on:
- Game design for fun and easy ways of incentivizing meaningful
actions while amplifying social good
- Blockchain technology to promote transparent processes for
contracts and process documentation
- Simple, noise-free UX to cut through distractions and get
things done efficiently
Steve Biddick, Founder and CEO
of Canyudo, said, "Our design team learned their trade in the
games industry, so we understand the motivating power of a
well-devised game. Therefore, we are pleased to introduce the
Canyudo app which stimulates prosocial behaviour to fulfil one of
our core aims - driving a resurgence in human cooperation."
"The app doesn't just simply get things done; we enhance the
ripple effects of good deeds through a pay-it-forward model
using an in-app coin to make impact measurable. We look forward to
collaborating closely with communities to bring our goal to
life."
In May 2016, Canyudo successfully
completed its first round of equity funding by surpassing its
target in just a month on Seedrs, Europe's largest equity crowdfunding platform,
and shortly kick-started its software development by February 2017.
Following these events, Canyudo now invites eligible investors
to take part in its second round of fundraising on Seedrs. The
funding will be used to bring Canyudo's services to users globally.
As of now, the campaign has met 73% of its target and is set to end
on January 22, 2019.
